thats actually a function of a string object:

Dim x As Int32 = 3
Dim str As String = "I'm a string"
str.SubString(0,x) // I'm

I tested it with the following code:

    Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim x As Int32 = 3
        Dim str As String = "I'm a string"
        Response.Write(str.Substring(0, x))
    End Sub
